Default Fan dipole..

I currently use a fan dipole (kind of a fan anyway)
SNIP
What are the pros and cons of fan dipoles like this?....


We used one of these at a local mall for "Kids' Day" last January.
Formula-cut for 20/15/10 and errected about 25 feet high (best we
could do at the mall), with NO special "fanning" at the center, but
the ends were about 2 feet apart, and the VSWR was about 6:1 on all
bands (fortunately, we had taken a tuner).

If your VSWR is low, maybe we should have done a bunch of pruning
and cutting, but we didn't think far enough ahead!
